Inside The Mind

Chapter 17

SARAH
MARIE
ANNABELLE

"What if they can't do it", Marie had come out with permission she wouldn't flip out anymore, especially now Annabelle knew it scared her.

"Laurie seemed sure she could. The look on her face. Determination".

"Ms.Daniels is trying to figure out where we hid the bodies".

"Bodies? There's more then one"! Annabelle could hear us, we didn't push her deep enough. We didn't want to. Now she knew So we wanted her here but we should watch what we say.

"Marie, we need to watch it. But I think it's time to discuss some things". We begin pacing, swinging our arms.

"Alright Sarah. Speak".

"If this works, we get a deal. Bye bye to Annabelle. We have to try our best to leave. Through medication and therapy she'll be able to close parts of her mind. We will be gone. Agreed"?

"Yes".

Annabelle's sweet soft Voice pushed through with a question we were dreading, "And if it doesn't work. What am I going to do".

"That's the other thing. If it doesn't I want permission to let Marie take over, she'll be the primarily personality. It'll save you from life in jail. You'll just think you're out and free".

The door knob began turning and we stopped pacing, Marie and Annabelle went deep and left leaving me standing there staring at Laurie.

"Hello...." her voice drifted off, unsure who to call me, and I would be confused too.

"Sarah". I sat in the chair folding my arms, "make a deal with the lawyer"?

"I got you something better".

"Better"?

She opened the folder she held and pushed it towards me, "this is a sign verdict from a judge. The verdict states Annabelle is guilty of charges, but her sentencing is to be put into a hospital until she is better".

"This is legal, and binding? No trial"?

"Yes, she'll be escorted to the hospital immediately. There will be no trial. After your part of the deal we have a car to take her over. Dr.Mills is at the hospital now getting it all ready for her".

Relief showed on my face, and I let out a long breath. Finally this was ending. "Can we finish this So we can get Annabelle to her new home, we both know she needs some sleep". I could tell she meant herself too but it was understandable. Sje deserved sleep.

"Alright Laurie". I paused taking in a lung full of air before exhaling it slowly. "After the first murder it was like we couldn't stop, the thirst for blood was too great. Most of them that were killed we didn't know, and never seen before. All men, except one. And there was abuse plenty of it. Do you remember the young sports star Thst went missing, and almost the whole school came forward saying he had abused them. Even guys on the football team said he raped them. Yes he's one that we killed. He raped Annabelle, we snapped. We sent Annabelle deep in her conscious and unconscious mind to help and protect her, times where her mother beat her for no reason she was playing in fields of lilies while Marie or myself took the beating for her. This last one though, he was a doctor I'm sure you've figured it out it's been long enough to run the DNA".

"Yes Dr.Samuel's".

"Yeah he saw her bruises and cuts and yet didn't do anything about it, but what he did do. Oh that pissed us off. She went in for trouble breathing, she had been having trouble for a little while. He touched her, why did he need to touch her like that"?

Anger rose in me but I did my best to keep my cool, Laurie saw and hurriedly to move on. "
